Upstream Exploration begins to awaken
When the 2020 layoffs occurred, and DW & co gleefully neutered Exploration, it was glaringly obvious to the average employee that this gutting would have long term negative consequences. He we are in 2025, and (oh my! Our volumes are going to tank in... — read more

For those who haven’t gotten the message the golden era of expat assignments is dead. Several friends returning to join me at EMHC and I am shocked to hear how much the expat program has declined. There is little to no financial incentive anymore. In... — read more

CL28 + Technical = NSI
Funny how there was a time when people looked forward to CL promotions. Now it just guarantees your ranking will drop. Especially if you moves into a new rank group.
Worried about GP lack of projects
Several big projects coming online with GP staff demobilizing and nothing for them to do. Next year’s assessment is going to be a bloodbath for these GP people who have nothing to work on.
So many resognations
LinkedIn is full of resignations and I’ve seen people this week immediately pack up and walk out when told they were NSI. Is the #EXXODUS about to pick up again?

Pension
Pension is being assessed for elimination soon. Who has details?
Is there another company out there that dislikes their employees as much as EM
Seriously - it seems like EM does not trust, value or care about their employees. They try to nickel and dime them on every single item, lower benefits to where it is no longer a benefit and sc--ws up a performance assessment process that drives fear... — read more
How true is the rumor about the package for NREs?

When you quit, be aware of your timing and pay period
For you US employees i unfortunately just discovered another way for the company to sc--w people over... I got my last paycheck recently and it seemed low. Turns out I quit during the only 12 work day pay period in the year, so each day I worked was... — read more

1) Can the PIP be cut short (i.e 3 months to 1.5 months) and the employee terminated immediately if the manager feels that he/she isnt improving? 2) Can the PIP be extended? (i.e 3 months to 4 months) 3) Is the fixed year end bonus pro rated and... — read more

Fire drill – who cares…
That fire drill today, for those who were there. Clearly showed the current state of the company: lack of direction, lack of care. Total lack of safety. Just do it for the checkmark. And then brag about on your performance review how well you did it... — read more
Elements of PIP
Will my manager share anything about what’s on the PIP before I decide to do PIP or PIL?

Another EXCELLENT TO NI and in 60'
That's all!
Better Operators (O&G, Petchem, Industrial Gases)
With the number of people here citing concerns with Exxon work culture, any better alternatives in this space? Chevron is also cutting jobs. Any employers that stand out in the Houston region?
Reorg end of year?
If you watched the 3 DW videos on the internal homepage, the 2nd video sounded like we are in store for an enterprise wide overhaul to be announced by the end of the year?
How many jobs are you applying to each week during your search?
I’ve been sending out 20 to 30 applications, but it’s starting to feel pointless, like no one’s even seeing them. The job market is brutal right now. Is this just a matter of persistence, or is there something else I’m missing?

The planned HC reductions through 2030 are ridiculous
They are gutting this company. As part of company plan they have the 2030 target of employee count at about 47,000 employees. We are going to an asset light model. Look at the recent Australia news as the playbook for the next 5 years. The higher... — read more

The art of attrition: how they wear us down
Let’s list all the attrition tactics they’ve thrown at us so far. PIP has to be the crown jewel - nothing says 'we value you' like a months-long, soul-draining performance circus. I’d also nominate 'lack of perspective' as the soft attrition MVP... — read more
